i used dan's script. i changed i686-unknown-linux-gnu to i686-pc-linux gnu in i686.dat
i commented out the two lines in getandunpack.sh which gets unpacks and patches gcc i commented out the line in all.sh which rm -rf build dir so i could take my time copying files on my gentoo box i did a "ebuild /path/to/gcc.ebuild unpack" at command line, and copied my patched gcc source to where dans wonderful script expects it to be. If i used scp to copy the files one by one, besides taking forever, it would fubar my permissions, and i couldnt make all gcc, so i tarred it. if i didnt use gentoo patched gcc i would have to manually apply the stack protection patch, or some builds would fail. then i run demo-i686.sh, and voila as far as distcc, i used the patched source from gentoo again, mostly b/c i wanted to have the exact same version anyway, and i had to put my gxgcc in my path and do all the obvious stuff there was a big craze in the gentoo community (which i missed) with doing this. they have a wiki and a once very popular forum thread about this. i think this method of doing it is much easier, and i know its less time consuming. much thanks to martin and dan for being my translators. hopefully this post will prevent other gentoo newbs, many too amature for the gentoo wiki's method, from buggin you about this in the future :) __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
